Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inadequate surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or weld integrity.Thoroughly degrease and abrade the surface before any fastening or coating is applied.
Overlooking potential thermal expansion/contraction issues in large installations.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible fastening points where significant temperature fluctuations are expected.

Common Applications
